1. Do you have insurance?

A contractor is required by law to have Workmen's Compensation Insurance. If the contractor gets hurt while working on the project, this insurance will protect them. The homeowner may be personally liable for an accident on their property if the contractor does not have workers' compensation insurance, hence the need to ask if they have one before hiring them.

2. Are you properly licensed?

Also, confirm that they have the necessary local business licenses.

3. Can I receive an estimate?

Sometimes a fence company will give you an "estimate" rather than a "quotation." It may be more challenging to contest any additional costs if you have already agreed to the project with a specific company, so be sure to get a price "quotation" in writing that accurately represents the project's total cost as described.

4. What is the Warranty Period?

A trustworthy builder ought to provide a warranty on the quality of the finished product's craft. The homeowner should also know the applicable material warranties, ranging in duration and terms. The labor warranty should last at least two years to allow total exposure to all four seasons.
